See the Goodness of the LORD!

"The Lord is my light and my salvation;

Whom shall I fear?


The Lord is the defense of my life;

Whom shall I dread?


When evildoers came upon me 
to devour my flesh,

My adversaries and my enemies, 
they stumbled and fell.

Though a host encamp against me,

My heart will not fear;

Though war arise against me,

In spite of this I shall be confident.

One thing I have asked from the Lord, 
that I shall seek:

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord 
all the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of the Lord

And to meditate in His temple.


For in the day of trouble 
He will conceal me in His tabernacle;

In the secret place of His tent 
He will hide me;

He will lift me up on a rock.


And now my head will be lifted up 
above my enemies around me,

And I will offer in His tent sacrifices 
with shouts of joy;

I will sing, yes, 
I will sing praises to the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice,

And be gracious to me and answer me.


When You said, “Seek My face,” 
my heart said to You,

“Your face, O Lord, I shall seek.”

Do not hide Your face from me,

Do not turn Your servant away in anger;

You have been my help;

Do not abandon me nor forsake me,

O God of my salvation!

For my father and my mother 
have forsaken me,

But the Lord will take me up.

Teach me Your way, O Lord,

And lead me in a level path

Because of my foes.


Do not deliver me over 
to the desire of my adversaries,

For false witnesses have risen against me,

And such as breathe out violence.


I would have despaired unless I had 
believed that I would 
see the goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living.


Wait for the Lord;

Be strong and let 
your heart take courage;

Yes, wait for the Lord."
*
Gentle ladies...never give up! 
Instead give all of you unto the LORD!
Live for Him and in Him, cry out to Him!
He hears your cries, knows your sorrows,
and He will carry you through all of your sadnesses until glory!
